Klark Teknik SQ1D 8-Channel Compressor/Gate
The Square ONE SQ1D dynamics provides eight channels of configurable, high-performance dynamics processing in a 3U package. Users can select the required mode of operation, allowing the multi-mode dynamics processor to function as a “vintage” compressor (peak-sensing type), broadband frequency-conscious compressor, hi-Q frequency-conscious compressor (de-esser), limiter, expander or gate. Square ONE dynamics also provides i-TS (Intelligent Threshold Shift) with the gate-hold function to reduce chattering within the gate, stereo and multichannel operation, solo bus operation, 6–segment/3-color input meter and 10-segment attenuation depth meter.
